Goals / app

7 goals in 13 appearances (0.54 per game) for a mid-table side.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.59 goal contributions per 90 (0.59 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 35.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 55.9, Blesa carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Primeira Liga of 5 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.59 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
